This guide focuses on recognizing and identifying different geological boundaries in Earth science. Learners will explore methods to determine if a boundary is convergent, divergent, or transform by analyzing the position of footwalls and hanging walls. Key features include the identification of compressional forces leading to anticlines and synclines in convergent boundaries, as well as normal faults in divergent boundaries. Understanding these geological structures helps in grasping the complex dynamics of Earth’s tectonic movements.

Recognizing Boundaries • For Each Picture identify weather it is convergent, divergent, or transform boundary. • Remember you must find the footwall (slide) Then see what the hanging wall does in reference to it.
